The unsettling case of the West Memphis Three gets yet another documentary - that’s four now. But West of Memphis is different. Aside from the passing of time - some 18 years - that has uncovered additional evidence, recanted testimony, and incompetent forensics...
Searching for Sugar Man clocks in a swift 85 minutes but the true story it tells – about an unknown folk-rock artist from Detroit, Michigan who doesn’t even know he’s bigger than Elvis in South Africa – is one you will never forget. Rodriguez is his name ...
It has been a decade since last we heard from director Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hours) and his latest, Bullet to the Head, offers no explanation for the ten year silence. No apology needed from the maestro, mind you. Just sit back and enjoy the one-liners. Bullet to ...
Well, at least it tries to do something different with the whole superhero genre. Imagine if DC’s Justice League or Marvel’s The Avengers were fractured and driven apart by one of their villains for all eternity. Imagine if that villain was Jigsaw from the SAW series ...
It’s been heralded as a minor classic. It’s also the first movie to showcase zombies – whether the walking dead or just poisoned. Let’s be honest, though. It’s far beyond the appropriate time to recognize Victor Halperin’s White Zombie as a masterpiece of horror. ...
Yippee ki yay, double-dipper! It’s Die Hard’s 25th anniversary celebration but you won’t find much of a party going on here. The disappointing collection from 20th Century Fox is essentially the same transfers we’ve seen before, making this only a stop-gap release until ...
Digital or film? Those are your choices for the future of moviemaking. Do we fall forward or fall back and rely on the natural look of film to carry us into the future? Discuss. Chris Kenneally’s new documentary, Side by Side, is certain to heat up the conversation ...

The anti-hero, the McGuffin, the duplicitous femme fatale, film noir, German expressionism seeping its way into film—these things have influenced movies for longer than this reviewer’s father has been alive, and they’re things that we take for granted because ...
The man behind those Wu-Tang slash and burn head-bobbing beats, the RZA, makes his directorial debut and revitalizes the martial arts genre with a film saturated with ridiculous amounts of blood and high-flying kicks. You will believe a man can fly thanks to ...
Derek Cianfrance, who brought us 2010’s beautifully tragic Blue Valentine, again explores the seamy edges of family dysfunction with his The Place Beyond the Pines that premiered at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Only this time, he shifts the ...
Bad hairdos, really large insects, and gore, gore, gore is what you’ll find inside this skin-crawling nest. Yes, it’s the six-legged bug who gets toasted and then roasted in this creature feature produced by Julie Corman. It’s a ow budget disaster and Scream ...
That’s right, fellow freaks, TerrorVision is back in print! Finally freed from its VHS prison by the kind folks over a Shout!/Scream Factory, TerrorVision gets coupled with another gory gem from the late 1980’s, Video Dead, for a nasty little double feature that will definitely ...
Poor Renny Harlin. What went down as arguably his best (and certainly most atmospheric) film and intended American debut, Prison, never saw the light of day in what was supposed to be its big theatrical release. Yes, Dead Heat got its slot. Tiny theatres ...
Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront won 8 academy awards in 1955 and could still win those awards if released, as is, today. This is more than just a movie. Kazan’s ability to capture reality is more than just magical; it’s his talent. On the Waterfront’s verisimilitude is ...
